Hi,

How can one restrict a supplier/customer from transacting with one of my company
Suppose I have 2 company X and Y supplier A should one be able to transact with company X

2 Also is there any way I can hide some suppliers from a particular set of users?

To restrict a Supplier or Customer from transacting with a specific Company in ERPNext, here are two ways you can manage it:

:white_check_mark: 1. Restrict Supplier/Customer to a Specific Company

By default, ERPNext allows you to associate a Supplier or Customer with a Company using the “Default Company” field on their form. However, this is just a default—it doesn’t stop users from using that party in another company.

To strictly enforce the restriction, you can use User Permissions:

  • Go to Settings > User Permissions
  • Add a new permission for the Customer or Supplier
  • Choose the party (e.g., Supplier A)
  • In the “Applicable For” field, choose the target transaction (like Purchase Order)
  • Set it to be only visible for users working with Company X

This way, users won’t be able to select Supplier A while working in Company Y.

:white_check_mark: 2. Hide Some Suppliers from Specific Users

You can hide or limit access to specific suppliers for certain users by:

  • Using User Permissions to allow only certain suppliers for specific users.
  • Combine this with Role Permission Manager if needed, to further restrict access based on user roles.

This ensures users see only the suppliers they are allowed to work with.

Do you have some experience with Server Script/ Client Script?
